Dump lot issues

[dljrfn2000 10]

Hey all, I am working on a city (pretty much un modded) that on a large city tile has around 100,000 residents, I'm trying to remove my dumps when I came to this unfortunate issue. I removed the roads connecting to the dumps and the "no road" icon came on above my dumps. I downloaded PEG's garbage shute but it's not fully doing the trick. Even still I figured that with no roads my dumps would decompose as they were intended to.... but nearly 50 years later there are dumps that are still there, spesifically 2x2 squares and some long like 7x1 strands. One of the 2x2 squares has done something odd where I have now a 2x1 thing going on.... its really baffling me. I'm hessitant to put in garbage plants because even with several plants going at full capacity my garbage numbers rarely dip below 4,000 and even then the rate it goes down I could probably make it about 500 years without hitting 0. So if anyone has any suggestions, or hacks this is one of the better citties I've built in a while so I really don't want to scrap it over something as dumb as garbage.

 

If anyone needs pictures just ask, thanks

If you'd rather do it in-game plant some waste to energy plants next to them.  You can kill these plants when the land fills are gone.  They'll need a road connect.

I've always had good results with the waste to energy plants as Moose suggested. Even then I have had a few stubborn sections that held on for four or five years, but not fifty. Sometimes planting trees stimulates the game to move and if I run into this again I plan to plant some trees also and see if that helps but I seldom use landfills anymore.
